I agree with the New Mutants...
Cypher killers? I wouldn't have minded so much if they hadn't killed him over the friggin' Bird Man! That never showed up ever again!
I love Louise Simonson, she does good work, but she and New Mutants just didn't mesh well...
Oh, X-Statix is also another interesting X title, in a post modern sort of way...
So, I bought an Ultimate X-Men tpb (I'm sure they had X-Statix, but my comic book shop is expanding, and things were in disarray over the weekend), and like it quite a bit. I know most of y'all have bitched about their problems over the years, but are any of the Buffy titles worth reading? I have all the Frays and the Tales of the Slayers, both of which I'm so-so on.
The most recent Angel mini-series was pretty good. I don't know if it'll be out as a TPB, though. It was only four issues.

I was about to recommend the same thing. Make sure you get the most recent four-shot, though - because the previous Angel series was kinda suck-y.
There are some Buffy mini-arcs and one-shots I've enjoyed. Jane's "Jonathon" single book. Jane's post-season three (three-shot?) about the Mayor haunting the scoobs before college started was pretty good. I can find the titles and numbers if you are interested.
Are those available as tpbs, Tina? Also, do you know offhand the name of the recent Angel 4-shot?

Jane's series is called Haunted and it is not avail as a tpb - descriptions are here.
Angel 4-shot is just called Angel Volume 2 Mini-series no tpb of that either, I think. You can find descrip at the bottom four entries on this
page.
ETA: Huh. Both of those links take you to the site's home page. Not sure how that works. Anway - in your left hand column select Mini-Series and scroll down to Haunted to see Jane's and select Angel Vol. 2 for the other.
Angel vol 2 was another Joss production.
Joss&co will be soon starting up a new series at Dark Horse, called Tales of the Vampire that will probable will be worth reading.
I enjoyed the first Will&Tara special, the second series a less so, but I am pretty all three issues are available as a trade.
